+Miscellaneous wordlists
+-----------------------
+
+The Dolch word list is a list of frequently used English words compiled by
+Edward William Dolch. The list was prepared in 1936 and was originally published
+in his book Problems in Reading in 1948. Dolch compiled the list based on
+children's books of his era. The list contains 220 "service words". The
+compilation excludes nouns, which comprise a separate 95-word list

+
+The Leipzig–Jakarta list is a 100-word word list used by linguists to test the
+degree of chronological separation of languages by comparing words that are
+resistant to borrowing. The Leipzig-Jakarta list became available in 2009.

+ Wikipedia article with list itself.
+
+The words in the Swadesh lists were chosen for their universal, culturally
+independent availability in as many languages as possible. Swadesh's final list,
+published in 1971, contains 100 terms.
